my opinion

This sounds like you have some type of contaminants in the system. Suggest that you have the brake system purged to flush out anything left over. I had a 72 240Z that would lock the rear cylnders when they corroded. A simple clean out with ffine sand paper then a through cleaning worked wonders - replacement did the same thing.

my opinion

when your brakes are working freely clamp off the hose by th top so the fluid won't pass threw.drive ot around then if it works fine after you do that you have a messed up front brake hose. it's collapsed inside and won't let the fluid pass threw properlly. hope that helps you out

If you've replaced all of those things and its still locking up, it sound like your fuel line is blicked and acting as a one way hose. Because of the pressure created in your break booster, the fluid is getting through to Activate the calipers, but the calipers are not strong enough to push the break fluid back up! Hope this helps!
